The Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria has voiced renewed concerns regarding the escalating security situation in the country. General Overseer Sam Aboyeji, speaking at a press conference in Lagos, highlighted the urgent need for spiritual and collective responses to the increasing violence, insurgency, and kidnappings. He noted that persistent insecurity, particularly in northern Nigeria, has resulted in loss of life and community displacement, describing the situation as deeply troubling. Aboyeji urged Christians across denominations to pray for divine intervention, healing for affected communities, and the restoration of peace. He emphasized the church's responsibility to respond with compassion and spiritual authority during national distress and called for sustained prayers and support for Nigeria's armed forces and security agencies. Aboyeji's remarks were made ahead of the church's 2026 International Conference for Ministers and Leaders, scheduled from April 13 to 16, 2026, which is expected to attract over 10,000 participants. The conference, themed "Operating in the Anointing," will focus on spiritual growth and leadership development. Aboyeji expressed optimism that collective prayers and renewed faith will help Nigeria overcome its current security challenges, reaffirming the Church's commitment to fostering peace, stability, and national development through spiritual guidance.
